i've been wanting to buy an rx7 for quite a long time now... i finally found one that was in very good condition.. i go and sit in a 87 n/a and the center console and the steering wheel were hitting my knee when i moved from the gas to the brake. i am about 6'3'' and i was wondering if there is any hope for me and a rotary powered car. that hasn't been modified. are the 3rd gen or maybe a t2 will have more knee room help me out guys :unsure:

the fc is the biggest rotary car, you might fit better with an aftermarket seat?

i mean i fit but i couldn't really move my knees enuff to move my foot from the gas to the brake comfortably. FD is 3rd gen right. hmm and the steering wheel didn't move. or we couldn't find the thing that made it. its like in front of a repair shop and that place just let me sit in it for a minute cause i had to get to school. its in like perfect condition and was like $2350. had like 100k miles. how much do u think insurance would be for that car and a 17 year old with a perfect record i have AAA. cause my parents are concerned about that. thanks

My stupid car makes my back hurt now, but it's probably me, not the car.
